Pec Implants: Q&A

Are Pec Implants Noticeable To The Touch?
I am considering pec implants along with gyno revision to help correct some a small degree of skin laxity. I want results that look and feel natural. My understanding is they are placed behind the muscle. Can you feel the implants once they are inserted inside the body?

Pec implants, can you feel them?

Pec Implants
Yes, for most patients, the pec implants are placed under the muscle. The implants area made from a solid silicone but can be made in different "firmness" to assist with making things feel as "natural" as possible.
